MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. -- A woman has been charged with stalking Los Angeles Lakers forward Luke Walton.
Stacy Elizabeth Beshear of El Segundo was arrested Sept. 18 after she pulled up to Walton's car and pretended to fire gunshots at him with her hand, police Sgt. Steve Tobias said.
Beshear, 34, has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor count of stalking. A Nov. 6 trial date has been set in the case. She faces up to a year in county jail if convicted, district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison said Tuesday.
Walton said Beshear has been harassing him since late last year. He told the Orange County Register she waited outside his Manhattan Beach home numerous times and wrote on his car with a marker after he refused to sign an autograph.
"When she pulled up to my house and started yelling at me after she fired a fake gun at me, I couldn't help but to start yelling back at her," Walton said. "She was in my driveway. But when we were interacting, I could tell by the stuff she was saying that she's not all there in the head -- which makes me feel bad for her.
"At the same time, most people who go on killing sprees are people who aren't all there in the head."
